Everlast Gym Leigh Fitness Centre in Leigh Reviews

Leigh Everlast are desperately doing damage control by flooding Google review with fake positive reviews. They have lost tens of thousands of pounds in revenue due to mismanagement, bad staff, abuse of members, negligence, not maintaining equipment Etc.
This is why they are also offering free two months membership February/March to get people into the gym to try and make numbers up for the large number of people that have cancelled their memberships.
AVOID this toxic failed gym.

I noticed in January that Everlast Gym in Leigh was offering free membership for the full month. I thought it was an unusual time of year for a gym to be offering free membership because with New Year’s resolutions people all gyms are busy in January, so no need to give free membership I thought.
I read bad reviews online so I declined the offer.
Then they offered February and March for free and pay nothing until April. Again very unusual promotion because If the gym was already successful then why give two free months at once? Out of curiosity this time I took them up on the offer.
My conclusion- DON’T BOTHER!!! I’ve been bothered with text, emails, phone calls. This is one desperate gym for paying members.

Over the past few days Everlast in Leigh has had over 15 negative feedbacks removed from Google reviews to up their positive ratings. Some of these negative reviews date back three years but most are recent.
They are now flooding Google with fake positive feedbacks in their desperation for damage control to scam the public to join the gym.
The fact is they are going out of business due to rude staff, multiple faulty old equipment, lack of cleanliness etc
I am a former employee and I left by my own choice so I am not bitter with them, but I think it is wrong of them to scam the public with lies of positive feedbacks, so I am posting the truth.
Avoid this gym it’s bad.

As a new member taking the free February offer, I recently did the Boxing fit class or Combat class and I found it to be highly unprofessional.
The trainer clearly has no idea what they are doing and I question if they’re even qualified to instruct a class.
Also the trainer isn’t inspiring for many reasons. Surely to be an instructor in a fitness class, you yourself have to be fit and healthy. Not exactly a good roll model advertisement for the gym.

I won’t be joining as a paying member.

I thought it unusual that the gym was giving free membership throughout January and now I know why.
I took the offer of free membership and instead of doing the full month, two days was enough for me.
It was like going back to the 1980s with second rate equipment, most of which doesn’t work. The place is a dump.

As an employee of this Leigh gym for years, I can no longer remain silent over this. January/February have always been our busiest months for new paying members. However this year there has been very little to no interest, & the established paying members are leaving the gym in large numbers. Therefore Everlast has been forced for the first time to give free memberships away for the whole of January & February. This gives a false impression that the gym is busy with paying members when in reality it is not. To reinforce this false impression they are posting daily fake positive feedbacks on Google in which has never happened before. I myself was asked to post positive feedback on Google but I have refused, so I am telling the public the truth.
The fact is the machines/equipment are below standard, old and large numbers are out of order which don’t get replaced/repaired. When signing up for the free month you are signing a 12 months contract and Everlast are sending out legal letters for the full 12 month payment. The work and membership gym environment has become very bad, and therefore I am leaving.

I’ve been a member of this gym for 15 years and over the last three years there has been a heavy decline with faulty gym equipment not getting replaced/repaired, rude staff, no cleaning equipment, no cleaners so the place is a mess. If you complain, you are just verbally abused.
And I’ve noticed the large number of fake positive feedbacks on Google, 12 within four days and that has never happened before. This is their last ditch attempt for damage control, plus the fact they are giving free membership away throughout January and February in desperation to attract people, to make the gym look busy.
I am deeply disappointed in the gym and it is not worth the membership fee. I’ve now cancelled my membership after 15 years.

I took advantage of the free one months membership. I thought it strange that they were giving free membership away in January which would normally be the most busiest month for new members paying to join.
Having been a member for over two weeks, I can see why they are giving membership away for free.
A large number of the equipment doesn’t even work. The place needs a deep clean. And some of the staff are extremely rude.
Luckily, I didn’t sign a 12 month contract.
I won’t be continuing with my free months membership and I do not recommend this gym at all.

I’ve been a member of this gym in Leigh for several months. I’ve patiently watched and waited to see the large number of faulty machines get repaired, in that time not one of them has been repaired. There are signs on them saying out of order.
Why am I paying a membership and not getting the full membership benefits when so many machines are fault? This is not acceptable.

As an employee of Everlast, I can honestly say I’ve never seen it so bad. January is normally a good month for new member subscriptions but this year we’ve had very little. Plus more people are ending their membership rather than joining or renewing.
I’m now looking for another job because head office are not maintaining this gym. It’s falling apart.

At Everlast Leigh, if you are popular, your membership gets revoked. Also if you voice your truthful opinion on the bad management of the gym, the aggressive unprofessional staff, the declining overall gym, extensive faulty machines that don’t get repaired, the lack of cleanliness (filthy unhealthy unhygienic), if you say just one truthful negative word about this declining gym then your membership is revoked, but to be honest, they have done me and my friends a favour. We have now joined a high class well managed, well maintained gym.

Been going to this Everlast Leigh gym for years now. This gym is falling apart, everyday a new piece of equipment is broken. There is not enough machine attachments and the ones that are here are also falling apart. The jazzcuzis have been closed for a very long time so forget that.

Having been a member for sometime, and so I can honestly say I have never had the staff at a company make me feel so uncomfortable on an extreme level. I will never go back to Everlast gym in Leigh. They know what they have done is wrong, as such myself and multiple others have withdrew our membership.

I’ve been a member for almost eight years, and in the last eighteen months I’ve seen a real decline in all aspects of this Gym. They have halved the cleaning staff, and it clearly shows, because the place is filthy, and the pool.
The equipment is old, dirty and a larger number doesn’t function. Plus we went days without water back in June, so no working facilities that require water, but yet they remained open. Money seems to be the priority and not the members.
I have NOT renewed my membership.

The app keeps putting me on a class waiting list. It’s faulty. Sort it out Everlast and whist you are at it, sort out all the faulty equipment and get new mats that actually are padded and not like thin paper on the gym floor. Useless.

Everlast Leigh covered up their hot tub whirlpools with decking due to them being too expensive to run and maintain.
Everlast excuse for this is, and I quote -
“As for the ‘decking’ that was part of the refurb idea not a ‘cover up’….” End quote.
There has not been a refurb, all the machines and equipment are still old and knackard, and how is the covering up of the pools with decking not a cover up?
Covering up whirlpools is not a refurb idea because a refurb should be an improvement to facilities, not removing covering up pools.
As members, there is no longer any point in continuing a membership.
The deterioration of this gym is obvious for everyone to see. I’ve cancelled my membership with immediate effect, and I will not be paying for the remaining 12 months.

The worst gym I have ever had the nightmare to deal with for many reasons. First it is impossible to cancel membership without them insisting I pay the remaining full 12 months money, even though I don’t want to be a member. Very rude aggressive intimidation from staff.
Why pay when they do not deliver on the full
membership fee because there are so many faulty machines.
Machines out of order signs everywhere.
The staff are rude.
Place is filthy.
Pools hot tubs boarded up out of use.
Air-conditioning not working.
Music in studio faulty.
I could go on and on.....

It’s deeply disturbing when the staff at Leigh gym are stalking gym members online. They did it to me and my friends/family.
Staff members talk about what is allegedly written on gym members personal FB profile pages, and they take screenshots to show others. Then they edited the screenshots to suit Everlast narrative.
Myself and other members have received unwanted online friends request from staff. It later emerged that FB had a software glitch were people looking at your FB page automatically, unknowingly to them, sent you a friends request. FB later apologised, and deleted the request. However it proved that gym staff are stalking gym members. Very intimidating and concerning. This is fact and an extremely unnerving breach of personal privacy.
It has nothing at all to do with Everlast what gym members do in their private life.
Disagreeing with what members post online, taking out of context, not understanding private humour, taking screenshots of fabricated post etc from possible clone accounts, and making false allegations.
Misunderstanding, misinterpretation, and spreading rumours, lies about members. Wrong on every level.
Scandalous! This is inexcusable behaviour.
Refusing to apologise when confronted when proven wrong, instead they escalated matters which caused me, and others severe distress.
A handful of staff have discredited, blackened Everlast name. Embarrassing for them.
This is one of many reasons why us members have left Everlast.

Everlast are immoral, bad, bad, bad. Their terms and conditions are ridiculous so read the fine print. I did not enjoy my time there at all, and they made it very uncomfortable to cancel my membership.

I was in 2 minds as to post as I don't see the point in this false drama but I cannot sit back and say nothing. With regards to the posts about the gym being a toxic or mean girl gym, this could not be further from the truth, everyone is so friendly and there's a fun atmosphere in all instructor classes and on the gym floor, it doesn't feel intimidating working out alone whereas other clubs I have tried I don't feel comfortable working out on my own.  Yes the gym has faulty equipment but the toxic nonsense is just that...nonsense. I have been at this club 4 years and never had a problem, this person feels that it's OK to lie and create false stories because there were consequences for their actions. A few people have left, this happens at every gym this is not just something that happens just at Everlast.
People who know this person out of the gym have advised people at the club of their behaviour and this is just what they do, so even people who know them know their character and embellishments to fabricated stories.
There will now follow a  barrage of yet more false reviews and lies as this person is very desperate for people to believe them and their stories.

There is a poisonous atmosphere at this Leigh gym due to some of the staff being so narcissistic, rude, and aggressive towards members.
Staff believe their own lies that suit their deluded warped ego fuelled narrative.
And disturbingly a small clique group of indoctrinated gym members can’t distinguish the difference from lies or truth, facts or fiction.
They want to appease the staff by reinforcing the lies to stay in the clique.
Very sad school mentality bullying at this gym.

I say this from a place of love - I hope they get the psychotherapy help they need before everyone cancels their memberships.
This gym had potential, but due to a small few it is self-destructing, and clearly going to business.

Everlast have run out of new lies so they are rehashing the old lies. This is very sad haha
Same old lies -
Having a full refurbishment soon - Same old story they’ve been saying for the past 4 to 5 years.

We are getting all new equipment - Never happens.

Machines are being serviced - Never gets fixed.

The hot tubs have been boarded over as part of our refurbishment - In reality, they can’t afford to run them so they boarded them up.

The gym is always clean and hygienic - Spit, peoples bottles, dirt, dust everywhere is the reality.

Female gym member said with regards to another gym member “She is a fat lazy C**t”. The female member that said it is still a member of the gym.

Different female gym member said in regards to a female trainer “ I bet if you went down on (name), her fan** (privates) would smell of fish”. The female gym member that said that is still a member of the gym.

With regards to an abusive member of staff, another female gym member said “Ki11 her with kindness”.
A male gym member then had a humorous joke about the comment, and he was then banned from the gym.
The gym got the Police involved costing hundreds of thousands of pounds in police and court time and compensation to the male that was falsely accused of crime.

There is clearly male discrimination at this gym, and the environment is extremely toxic.
Not recommended at all.

The consequences of the gyms actions have cost them many ongoing thousands, and they can no longer afford to run the hot tub, so they are boarded up. They cannot afford maintenance on any of the faulty machines, they cannot afford cleaners, and the place is extremely neglected.

Absolute appalling behaviour from some of the abusive staff.
Not recommended at all.

If you are a popular person at this gym Everlast Leigh, and members of the gym are coming to your house as friends, and arranging to meet up with you early at the gym before a class so that they can socialise with you, and coming to your car if they see you sat in the car park listening to music before a gym class, then be very careful because some of the staff are highly toxic and very jealous narcissistic people. Staff will set up a smear campaign of lies against you to attack your character to have you removed from the gym, simply because you are popular, and they are jealous because they get no attention. Pity them for their wrong doings.
This has happened to a number of people at this toxic gym including myself.
AVOID !!!! Added to that the place has become badly neglected with many faulty machines and dirty.

Myself and a large number of others have cancelled membership at Everlast Leigh.
The ill treatment of members is disgraceful. Rude staff, second rate old knackered faulty equipment, filthy pool area, steam room, showers, toilets and general gym area unhygienic.
AVOID this neglected gym.
In their desperation for money they are threatening people that cancel their direct debit, as they are claiming that we are in a contract to pay for a full 12 months, even though we haven’t had 12 months, and don’t want to continue a membership.
AVOID.
